    New water help

    Just filled our pool with the hose. Testing my water I am coming up with around a total alkalinity reading of around 20. (Water turns red after 2 drops using the TF100) Using the pool math I am coming up with about 10 lbs of baking soda needed. Does this seem right for tap water? Am I on the...

    Aqua Pro ECO500 questions

    Just installed ECO500 yesterday and I can't seem to figure it out. Instructions are horrible at best. My question is, does the timer have to be set in order for the heat pump to run? Reason I ask is because we set it for 82 degrees, did not set the timer, and went to bed. Woke up, not running...

    Hayward Power Cord

    Is anyone using the original 6ft #14 awg 3 prong cord that comes with the most Hayward pumps? The tag states it is just for testing the pump and a permanent 3ft, #12 awg plug needs to be installed. I already have the Hayward Aqua Trol that is straight blade and not twist lock so I can't change...

    Installing a new Aqua Trol and the instructions state to connect the green ground terminal to the ground in the service panel. Isn't the SWG already grounded to the panel through the 3 prong plug and GFCI?

    AquaTrol run time?

    Does anyone have an AquaTrol and run their filter pump 24/7? How would this work? Would the aquatrol then be running 24/7 as well? Can you run them seperate? Just a little confused before I buy one.

    Backfill AGP questions

    Hello, just got done excavating for our pool. We over-dug by about 4 feet. The high side had to be dug down about 3 feet to get it level. My question is should I build a retaining wall or backfill up to ground level? What other options do I have? Thanks!

    Which SWG for new AGP

    Just starting to put in a new AGP, 21' 54" round. I'm trying to decide between the ultra inexpensive Intex CG-28669 or the more expensive, but seemingly more reliable Hayward Aquatrol. Does anyone have any experience with either of these? I'm ok with spending the money on the Hayward if it...

    Help choosing pump and filter for new AGP

    Hello, new to the forum. We are purchasing a new 21' 54" round AGP. The store tried to sell us a filter system as part of a package. The pump was a 2hp 2 speed and the filter was a 200sqft cartridge for over $900. I knew this was too big/too expensive for what we need. I can't find anything...
